The designer of the aircraft was engineer Kurt Berger. The aircraft made its maiden flight on April 16, 1924, piloted by Georg Jäderholm.
The aircraft was a one seated, high-wing monoplane. It was designed as a fighter, but its Siemens-Halske Sh. III engine was under-powered, the speed moderate and flight characteristics poor. The visibility from the pilot's seat was also very poor. The aircraft was in Finnish Air Force use for a short time.
The aircraft is currently stored in the Finish Air Force Museum, in a restored condition, although possibly eqquiped with the wrong wing.
